Chapter 162: Everyone Arrives at the Hospital

When Su Bai was wheeled into the emergency room, his mind was entirely clear.

Actually, Su Bai was not all that frightened.

Back then, when Yang Mengke suffered such severe burns, the system had managed to fix her right up, let alone his own current scalding injuries.

However, being inside the hospital's emergency room meant Su Bai could not make a single suspicious move.

Otherwise, it would be truly impossible to explain.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as the doctors bustled around him.

The first person to rush to the hospital was Tong Xiaoya!

"Nurse, how is Su Bai inside?"

Seeing Tong Xiaoya's anxious expression, the nurse felt a wave of confusion. As a public figure, Tong Xiaoya was naturally well-known to the nurse, who also knew that Su Bai was a celebrity.

Yet, she had never seen any rumors or scandals linking the two of them together.

How strange that the first person to sprint over wasn't Yang Mimi, who was frequently rumored to be with Su Bai, but rather Tong Xiaoya?

"Nurse?"

Ah? Oh!

The nurse snapped back to reality, then smiled sheepishly and explained, "The doctors are currently operating inside. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any danger to his life!"

Tong Xiaoya paced back and forth outside the emergency room doors like an ant on a hot pan.

Just then, Yang Mengke stumbled in from the entrance.

Gazing at the tightly shut doors of the emergency room, Yang Mengke felt as though the sky were falling. She staggered and almost collapsed to the floor.

With a trembling voice, she asked, "Nu... nurse, how is my brother?"

The nurse looked with bewilderment at the unimaginably beautiful girl before her. She had originally thought Tong Xiaoya was already a peerless beauty of this world, yet this girl surpassed even Tong Xiaoya.

Her temperament, in particular, was spotlessly pure!

Even as a woman herself, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

"Nurse, how is my brother?"

Yang Mengke asked again with burning anxiety.

Ah? The nurse snapped out of it once more. What on earth was wrong with her today?

"Um, miss, what's your brother's name?"

"If you don't tell me his name, it's hard for me to check!"

Yang Mengke immediately replied, "Su Bai! How is Su Bai doing right now?"

Hearing this, the nurse understood in an instant. So this was the internet-famed, ethereally beautiful younger sister of Su Bai, rumored to be a host for China Central Television.

Because Yang Mengke rarely appeared clearly on camera, the nurse hadn't recognized her at first glance!

"He is currently out of danger, and the doctors are treating him. Since you're a family member of the patient, come with me to sign some paperwork!"

After finishing the paperwork, Yang Mengke came back out, looked at Tong Xiaoya, and gave her a slight nod.

Though she didn't know why Tong Xiaoya was here, Yang Mengke knew the other woman had likely come for the sake of her brother.

However, Yang Mengke had no mood to converse with Tong Xiaoya right now. Both of them simply stared anxiously at the entrance of the emergency room!

Before long, the nurse felt she was going completely out of her mind.

Xue Qianqian had arrived.

Yang Beibei had arrived.

Liu Yishi had arrived!

So many... so many celebrities.

The nurse felt she had never seen so many stars in her entire life.

And all of them gathered in one place.

Upon seeing Tong Xiaoya, who had arrived at the hospital much earlier, Yang Beibei and Liu Yishi paused in surprise, then asked in anxious, lowered voices, "What's going on?"

"How did he suddenly get scalded?"

Among all of them, Xue Qianqian was the most qualified to speak on the matter!

Xue Qianqian explained to the group, "This is all my fault!"

"I originally wanted to invite Su Bai out for a meal to discuss a song!"

"Just as one of my hot pot restaurants had recently opened, I invited Su Bai there, hoping to piggyback a bit on his popularity!"

"I never, ever imagined that while Su Bai and I were singing in the hot pot restaurant, someone would suddenly pick up a pot of boiling soup base and hurl it straight at Su Bai!"

"Su Bai could have dodged it, but seeing a little girl right across from him, he blocked it instead and ended up getting scalded!"

At that moment, the doors of the emergency room suddenly swung open.

Everyone swarmed forward instantly, eagerly asking how Su Bai was.

"There is currently no danger to his life, but he has suffered extensive scalding and will need inpatient treatment. Fortunately, however, his face is almost entirely uninjured; most of the burns are on his back!"

"The patient has been given a sedative and might sleep for a while longer."

"When you go in later, please keep your voices down!"

As Su Bai was wheeled into the ward, Yang Mengke rushed in ahead of everyone else!

She dropped to her knees by the bedside, clutching Su Bai's hand tightly, her eyes instantly brimming with tears.

"Brother, back then you took care of me, and now it's my turn to take care of you!"

Seeing Yang Mengke like this, everyone felt an inexplicable wave of emotion stir within their hearts.

Earlier, when they heard Yang Mengke talk in interviews about how close their bond was, they hadn't truly grasped the depth of it.

But seeing Yang Mengke's reaction now, they finally understood!

Just then, Su Bai slowly stirred and opened his eyes.

Feeling his hand being held, he turned his head slightly to look at Yang Mengke kneeling on the floor.

Su Bai reached out and gently stroked Yang Mengke's head. "Silly girl, why are you kneeling on the floor? Get up!"

Seeing that Su Bai had woken up, Yang Mengke could no longer hold back.

She burst into tears with a wail.

"Waah... sob, sob, Brother, I was so scared just now!"

Su Bai comforted her softly, "Silly girl, it's alright. Back then, when your injuries were so severe, the wounds healed completely. A few burns like mine are a piece of cake for me."

As he spoke, Su Bai gave Yang Mengke a subtle wink.

With so many people in the ward, Su Bai couldn't afford to speak too openly, so he could only hint at it covertly.

At this hint from Su Bai, Yang Mengke instantly came to her senses.

That's right! Back then, her own horrifying burns had brought her to the brink of death, yet Su Bai's miraculous potion had cured her completely.

Now, with Su Bai facing scalds, treating them with that magical potion would indeed be child's play!

At this thought, Yang Mengke's mood seemed to brighten instantly.

Su Bai turned his head to look at the people gathered in the ward. "Why did all of you come here?"

"I'm fine, there's no need to worry about me!"

Seeing Su Bai awake, Xue Qianqian had been wanting to step forward and apologize, but seeing that Su Bai was talking to Yang Mengke, he hadn't dared to interrupt.

Now, seeing Su Bai conversing with everyone, Xue Qianqian quickly took a step forward.

"I'm sorry, Su Bai. If I hadn't asked you to come to my hot pot restaurant, none of this would have happened!"

"I never expected such a thing to happen either, and I feel deep remorse inside."

Su Bai waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, there's no need to put on a tearjerker show here!"

"This isn't your fault; the person was aiming for me!"

"It's not the first time I've encountered something like this!"

"It's just that this time, the timing they chose happened to line up!"

"You don't need to blame yourself."

"Take advantage of my recovery period to think about your song well. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll give you your song!"

Hearing this, Xue Qianqian was deeply moved. Even in this state, Su Bai was still thinking about writing a song for him.

The guilt in his heart grew even stronger!

"No, no need to rush. We can talk about the song after you've fully recovered!"

"If the netizens across the internet find out that you got hurt at my hot pot restaurant and were still writing songs for me while recovering, your fans will tear me apart!"

Pfft!

Though the timing wasn't quite right, everyone still couldn't help laughing out loud.

It helped ease the tense atmosphere somewhat!

"Su Bai, what happened to you?"

Yang Mimi stumbled into the room...
